You *should* use thermal greese when running anything higher then a P-60... You don't 100% need it on something that slow, but its a good idea regardless. Systems preform MUCH better when using it, it helps the heat sink do its job.
I am wondering what caused the death of the Athlon, the heat, or the thermal greese bubling and running down onto those smaller chips. (I am not sure if they are cache, diodes, resitrors or what) I fried a TB-1000 when they first came out for putting too much thermal greese on it. So, I wonder what killed it.
You misunderstod. Yes, your are supposed to create the application the best you can. But, if someone says, ok you have 20 minutes and thats it. You don't have a chance to make it correctly. They might not like it if you question the quality of the application due to them telling you when to stop.
Companys generally don't like that. You can bring up your concerians, but thats it. You can't tell them how to run there business.
Look at the economy, its pretty bad. Your lucky to be a well paid programer. There are tons of people out there who can fill your shoes.
Do you think they *really* care ? There making money and people keep coming back. Thats the M$ theory.
All in all, bring it up, say that you would like to see better quality work get done and your willing to do it. There is a very good chance they will tell you to get the hell out of there office and get back to work...
I will only say screaw backwords compatibilty durring beta, after that, I am sticking with the code until the next development cycle. Thats why I prefear to keep an application in beta much longer, I have more room to grow.
A lot of times it comes down to the application and how many changes are happening. If your making releases every week. You kinda need backwords compatiblity:) If its every few months, its sorta important, but not a requirement. If theres a release every year, screaw it:)
The size of the application also makes a big difference. Smaller project may not need to worry about it. Very large projects need to worry.
All in all, its not a "black and white thing", you won't find the answer in a text book. It depends on your goals, what your doing, the size of the project, etc etc etc. Every project is different.
A line from T2 that makes a lot of sense. Remeber when British Telecom wanted to start licenseing hyper links ? Think about what that would have done to the internet. Software patents are getting crazy.
When Enstein couldn't patent E=Mc2, it was for good reason. Think about what would have happened if he did ? The world would be a _MUCH_ different place. Things like nuclear power might not have been possiable.
I think it will only get worse before it gets better. A lot of the recent M$ comments show whats in store in the near future.
Well, not even one can do that. For example, I only have access to a single cable provider and dialup. No ISDN, no DSL, etc. I am only 500' from the CO, but they just don't offear it. ISDN is very much out of the question, its slow, unrealiable, costs WAY too much. Becuase, they would change me to run special lines for it. Since, they normally don't provide it.
If your in an area that has many choices, then your set. If company A can't provde x, y and z, then company B might be able to.
Heres the odd part about it. Its not 100% true with all ISPs. I have a few friends signed up for DSL and there TOS states that running servers is allowed, but you are responseable for your security, your server doesn't create security problems, (eg, code red worm:) and you are reponseable for its content.
We where just talking about setting up something like this for our private core developer mettings. Nothing that secret happens there, but be had a small problem a few weeks ago. We had someone hijack someone elses connection. We are still tring to figure out what and how it happened.
Using encryption will prevent this. Not only sniffing, but connection hijacking. (At least I would think:)
I think a secure IRC network is needed and has been needed for a long time. Too many people tring to pretent there someone else. If you know there key finger print, you can compiar them.
Actually, cable and DSL providers are already blocking port 80 (and most lower ports) for months. I am a Charter cable customer. When I first signed up, all ports below ~1500 where blocked. (With the expection of 53, 113, and a few of others) Customers where forced to use there proxy server. Even outbound port 80 was blocked.
After complaining for 4 months about it. and many phone calls to there head techs and managers. I finally won. I proved to them why blocking all of those ports was insaine. I simply wanted to run NTP on my machine. (Well, my entire LAN, but they didn't know anything about that:) Which requires 123/UDP.
As the months went on, more and more ports started opening. One thing that they have relized is that people will run servers regardless. People who abuse it (setting up high traffic sites) will be shutoff. Personally, I think its insaine. I should have the right to run a personal site, as long as it doesn't get out of hand. If it did get to that point, I wouldn't be hosting on cable.
So, they blocked the ports. I wonder how long it will stay. I would be very carefull, they may use this as an excuse to keep the ports blocked.
Working with the large companys his difficault, tring to convince them that they should unblock them. I can kinda of understand there postion. But, then again, it kinda upsets me.
There are plenty of virus / works that do this. For example, the Rameon bug. It didn't cause any damage, it patched up a few security holes, replaced the main web page so admins know what happened.
Its funny when you look at the number of worms / virus affect Windows and how much damage they cause. Its also funny to look at how many worms are for Linux that don't do any real damage and simply secure a site for you. Now, its not the answer.
I was watching TechTV this morning, and they estimated that the code red worm costs over $2 Billion USD to fix. They also mentioned that companys aren't getting any smarter. They left with a question of why more companys don't wake up and move on. Its only going to get worse for MS products. The truth is, that *nix is generally much more secure. I personally think its pretty damn impresive how secure OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Linux, etc are comparied to Windows, and how many stupied companys there are still using Windows...
When on Earth are we going to have judges who understand the fscking issues. How are they going to fairly rule on things that they don't understand ? This goes for any tech. realated issue. Everything from DeCSS to the eBook crap.
Not everyone had access to an OC-2048, and most servers where 800 mhz, so we would have to wait 4 hours before we could reach a site due to the slashdot effect. You kids are spoiled, your connection are so quick, it gets there before you needed it... damn wipper snappers.
Instead of blocking off port 80, why not explain to your customers that they need a REAL (secure) OS if they want to run webservers.
My local cable company out right hates me, becuase I run Linux. Well, I called them today about the severe speed decrease and they thanked me for not being one of the ones slowing down the entire network. Of course, they still don't like the fact that I am running a webserver. But, theres not much they can do about it. They didn't have a TOS when I signed up. So, I am grandfathered into running what ever I please. Keep in mind, I don't abuse this privilege. Which is why they don't make a big stick about it. I have a VERY low traffic site, which is mostly for my own private use.
Normally, I would post something like 'I wonder how long it will be until someone hacks this'. Welp, its already happened. I wonder how there business will do once they relize how poor the encryption is.
I bounced around from distro to distro over the past year. Before that, I was a dedicated Red Hat fan. I found that Mandrake 7.2 was easier then 8. I ran into a number of odd little problems. Durring a fresh install, its good. Upgrading was a bitch... there are a number of librarys and binarys that just don't fit together currently.
Of all the distros, I say Mandrake takes the cake for easy installation. Shit, I gave a Mandrake CD to my mother inlaw, she install without ANY problems. Gave her a Windows 98 2nd edition CD, it was a nightmare... Guess what OS she uses ?:)
But, we have been aware of this forever. Unfortnanlly, companys will still try to make you do everything at once. So, in the end, you are less productive. No matter what, some managers don't have the brains to relize this... Oh well.

I am just starting to _finally_ save up for a AMD-1000 and now the Intel 2000s are comming out. Its just my luck, I am still running an AMD-500
Maybe one day, I will have a fast machine. Which will still be slower then everyone else in the world ...

Time to download it and give it a try :)
Sure, your best bet is to run your server on port 443 only. SSL :)
This more or less prevents quite a few simular attacks.

Damn it, I was hoping for a 'Funny' ... Man, ./ sucks these days.

Hmmm, was NetBSD ever ported to the Commodore ?
